CMTA partners with GFTN for Point Zero Forum 2026


CMTA has established a partnership with the Global Finance & Technology Network (GFTN) for the Point Zero Forum 2026, joining a premier global platform dedicated to shaping the future of financial systems through policy dialogue, technological innovation and cross-border collaboration.

Established by the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) in 2024, GFTN serves as a global convening platform connecting policymakers, financial institutions, and technology leaders to address the most pressing challenges and opportunities in financial innovation. With a presence across Singapore, Tokyo and Berlin, GFTN convenes stakeholders from over 130 countries, catalysing partnerships and advancing real-world outcomes at the intersection of finance, policy and technology.

As part of this global ecosystem, CMTA will participate in the Point Zero Forum 2026, GFTN’s flagship European platform held in Zurich from 23–25 June 2026. Into its fifth edition, the Forum is a unique collaboration between the Swiss State Secretariat for International Finance (SIF) and GFTN, organised in cooperation with leading institutions including the BIS Innovation Hub, MAS, the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA), and the Swiss National Bank.

Since its inception in 2022, the Point Zero Forum has established itself as a leading global platform for dialogue at the intersection of policy, finance and technology. It convenes central bankers, regulators, policymakers, industry leaders, and innovators to address critical developments shaping the global financial system. In 2025, the Forum brought together over 2,000 participants from more than 60 countries, with a significant representation from the public sector, enabling meaningful engagement on global regulatory frameworks and financial innovation.

The 2026 edition, themed “Where Finance Gets Rewired: Trust, Technology, and the New Rules of Money,” will explore key forces transforming the financial landscape, including:

  • The transition of artificial intelligence, tokenisation and quantum technologies from pilot phases to real-world deployment
  • The growing importance of digital sovereignty across major economies
  • The emergence of always-on, 24/7 financial systems and evolving global trade flows
  • The development of new regulatory frameworks governing digital assets and AI
  • The rise of new capital corridors across Europe, the GCC, India and ASEAN

Through high-level keynotes, closed-door roundtables and curated engagements, the Forum serves as a catalyst for policy alignment, strategic partnerships and innovation outcomes.

Through this partnership, CMTA will engage with GFTN’s global network to contribute to these critical conversations and help shape the next generation of financial infrastructure.
